United States President, Donald Trump on Thursday said that the United States will sign a minerals and natural resources deal with Ukraine shortly.
This was as he said that his efforts to achieve a peace deal for the country were going pretty well after his talks this week with the Russian and Ukrainian leaders.
Trump stated this at a White House event after signing an order to increase US production of critical minerals.
“We’re doing very well with regard to Ukraine and Russia. And one of the things we are doing is signing a deal very shortly with respect to rare earths with Ukraine,” he said.
The US president referred to his separate discussions this week with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy aimed at ending Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Those talks, which fell short of Trump’s aim to secure a full 30-day ceasefire, reportedly resulted in Putin agreeing to stop Russian attacks on energy infrastructure for 30 days and Zelenskiy saying he would also accept such a pause.
